Molly!
It’s 4 am where I live and I can’t sleep. Truth is I had the worst breakup a couple of months ago and obviously I’m not done grieving over what used to be me , us. A lost love.
I noticed that whenever insomnia kicks in, I find myself here . I went all the way back to your oldest posts and I’m now somewhere in 2008 . Please know that your stories and comforting words are making a huge difference. My heart feels better now.

Thank you for sharing your story and journey with us. I read The Fixed Stars in two days, late into the night, as I have never read any non-fiction before. Your voice, which I enjoyed reading for many years on Orangette, shone through in fierce, blazing glory. I wish you, and all your family, all the warmth, and joy, and forward momentum of life.

I miss you! A woman asked in a local Facebook group today which Seattle bloggers we follow. The only blog I could think of that I could recommend with enthusiasm is this one. I wonder how she will feel when she realizes the most recent post was in 2018. Ah, well. It’s all rather timeless, so I told her to just start at the beginning and read.

Your voice is still very much a part of my world. I often think about one night rather late when I found myself reading about buckwheat pancakes and ice cream. (I actually am not totally sure whether you wrote about the ice cream with the pancakes, if I was eating ice cream while reading it, or just craving it, but they are solidly joined in my mind.) I had never tried buckwheat pancakes, but you made me want them so badly. They are now a regular Sunday feature in our house. I make Delancy Meatloaf about once a month. I admit that I have taken great liberties with your recipe, but I think you would approve. Your dad’s potato salad is a summer staple and reminds me of your sweet relationship with him and that there is no shame in liking what you like (I’m talking about you, Hidden Valley ranch dressing).

I bought your new book from Secret Garden a couple of days ago and look forward to reading it. I hope that you’ve enjoyed the process of bringing it into the world. Thank you for continuing to be a part of my world.

Molly, I had forgotten, too. For that, please forgive me. I have been a terrible audience. I began reading you to fall in love with dinner, and have never felt the same way about chick peas. I still kind of check them out in the bean aisle. Now, our daughter is 19, completely all the way out, but struggling with the implications of that, and I am reading Jungian psychology on the middle passage. Youthful crushes are a long time ago for many of us, but I think I might just turn those chick peas into the lemon & parmesan & the good olive oil one more time. It’s a lot cheaper than a convertible, and more meaningful, too. Looking forward to August with great anticipation.

Molly – yours was the first food blog I followed and I trust your recipes implicitly.

I am greatly looking forward to reading your 2020 publication.

I wouldn’t mind one bit if you wrote an Instant Pot blog. I miss your blog, came back to find your banana cake recipe with the epic headnote that starts “I was a difficult child…” All the best for 2020.

Molly so happy to hear that you will be publishing a book in 2020! I was happy to see this post from you. I do listen to your podcast Spilled Milk which I enjoy. Hope you will blog again some day 🙁 I have also enjoyed your photography— I think you should consider teaching a class or possibly publishing some of your photographs! (Another project to think about ). Wishing you all good things !

I’m so grateful your blog is still up, and here for us to refer to! I love Spilled Milk, especially when you refer back to recipes here. I come here and wander around for a bit … I’m looking forward to your new book!
